What are the permissions on your local dirctory to which you are mounting the remote file system? (/home/kc8tdw/Desktop/school/) Can you create any new files? (touch foo) If you do an ls -l on the /home/kc8tdw/Desktop/school when you have your remote file system mounted, what output do you get? Does the output make you feel that you should have permissions to edit the files? From my experience, you have the permissions of the user you used to create the ssh session when editing the remote file system. Mike K.
